2.3 Other hazards
• High temperatures or mechanical action may form dust and fume that can irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. • Fine particles from processing (grinding, cutting, polishing and welding) may be readily ignitable, and need to be controlled. • Fine particles in contact with water or humidity in air may release flammable gases in hazardous quantities. • For molten alloys there is a risk of explosions if in contact with water, and react violently in contact with oxides of some other metals or nitrates.
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
